[RE-wrenches] Sunny Island DC Load Centers, Sealed Batteries

[Kirpal Khalsa]

Hi Folks......we have an upcoming Sunny Island/Sunny Boy AC Coupled system
installation.....We have mostly done Outback and Xantrex battery based
systems.......and like the available supporting DC load centers with main
breakers and other DC load and charging breakers......
What are folks using for the Sunny Island products? Outback Flexware DC
500's? or 1000's?
This particular system will consist of 4 Sunny Islands and therefore will
need four main breakers......  We primarily need a breaker box to locate our
main DC breakers coming from the battery bank.......Any advice, experiences
would be appreciated......

Also on that note.....anyone wish to share any experience or advice on the
GNB Absolyte GX series batteries or the East Penn Deka UnigyII as a standby
grid connected back up battery bank....They both seem like they are good for
primarily hanging out in float with occasional deep discharges not
negatively affecting the health of the batteries.....This is the type of
service we expect the batteries will be in primarily......Any
recommendations of one brand over the other.....The vertical stacking seems
convenient as far as space is concerned.....maintenece free......any
recommendations on a good supplier on the west coast?  Any other brands i
should be looking at in the sealed battery category for a fairly large Ah
battery bank?
100 thanks !
